"Twas the week before Christmas
and all through our house
All the creatures were stirring.
No, we don't have a mouse!"
The suitcases were packed
in Anna's room with care,
In hopes that Friday
soon would be there.
The children were nestled all in Mom's bed, While visions of
gifts danced in their heads. Mom in her Gator shirt and Dad in
his UM cap Had too much to do to take any naps!"
After 110 days of waiting we got our travel approval and we will
be on
our way on Friday to pick up Miss Jia-Li from China! Please
